There were about three thousand persons at Ivy
City yesterday, and though the weather was ex-
ceedingly damp the sport was fine. Only one out
slider won during the day. Florence NJ. captured
the fourth race and paid $1,000 in the mutuels.
In the books she paid even better; 40 so, and In
some instances even 90 to was laid against her.
In the fifth and last race Of the day there were
eleven starters. Banner Bearer, with Mclaughlin
up, being the favorite; but before the horses went

THE RACING NEXT WEEK.
The executive committee OF the Jockey Club, at
meeting held at the track yesterday, decided
that there was no hope OF better weather to-day,
and that 1t was good policy to postpone further
by the owners OF the horses and by the book
makers, all OF whom will remain All that Is
goOd weather. There Is no doubt OF liberal pa
tronage and as all the best horses are here there
VIII be close contests for the purses.
TIE BETWEEN THE RIVAL JOCKEYS.
Laughlin and Garrison tie in the contest for the
jockey championship. Each now has one hundred
and three successful mounts to his credit, and as
next week will decide which shall wear the honor
the rivalry will 1mpart additional interest to the
meeting. The opinion among the knowing ones Is
that Mclaughlin will capture the coveted honor,
as he is In Splendid form, but he has no easy task
ahead OF him. Garrison is fOeman worthy his
steel When Mclaughlin finished winner
gTeeIed with shouts Of applause from rom
his many friends who had kept account OF the
score and knew that 1t stood tie. 1t Is expected
that the rival jockeys will strain every nerve TO
win with their mounts next week, ana there is no
doubt that some superb riding will be seen.
